JOHN RUSKIN INSANE.
THE GREAT ENGLISH ART CRITIC,
PHILOSOPHER AND WRITER

His Splendid Intellect Wreck-His
House in Observation-Disclosures of His
Malady-His Art Treasures-His Views
on Political Economy.
The great Ruskin is insane The artist,
critic and philosopher that was, is now n men
tai wreck, under the yigilant care of nurses
for the mad. For some time rumor has
been flying about London TO the effect that
John Ruskin's retirement from literary work
was due to q mental breakdown. And now
the runor has cryStallized into well known
fact. The master of English prose is now a
baby in intelleco.
The life of so eminent a man is known to
almost everybody He was born in London
in the year 1919. His father, Scotchman,
was a successful wine merchant, and left to
his son fortune of $1,000 year On the
death of his mother this fortune was in
creased considerably. Thus, from the begin
ming of his career, he was able to crafty his
artistic and literary tastes without fear of the
bugbear of poverty. His parents were de-
voted to him. He has given an account Of
his childhood and their care in training him.
He records that his mother even went to Ok
ford and staid there during term time.
Ruskin is best known as an art critic, but
he is also famous for his writings or political
economy, in which he excoriates the sordid,
money seeking tendencies of the age. He
has be. called the head of a school of self
denial, honest art and genuine culture.
Mr.. Ruskin was graduated in 1912 at Ok
ford, having studied at Christ Church col
lege, and Immediately afterward devoted
himself to the study of art, particularly

SKILLED In OLD AGE.
THE LATE ALVAN CLARK, FAMOUS
TELESCOPE MAKER.

The Story of His Useful and Busy Life.
How He Became an Accommodation
His Telescopes Were NIanufactured-His
Honors at Home and Abroad.
Alvan Clark, whose death at Cambridge,
Mass, at the age of s., was recently recorded,
did more TO advance astronomical science
than any other person of this century As a
telescope maker his reputation is world wide
When Dom Pedro, of Brazil, visited this
country some years ago he said there We're
three persons in Cambridge whom be wanted
much to see. These were Longfellow, Pro-
fessor Agassz and Mr.. Alvan Clark.
At the age when most persons think they
are too old to begin any new business or learn
anything, or even go on energetically with
what they do know, Mr.. Clark began the
work which made him famous. He did not
SO much as know anything about it. Nor did
he ever see lens in process of construction
outside OF his own shop. He lived on farm

portrait painting. He located in Boston and
painted beads for twenty years, earning over
$4,000 with his brush, without ever having
been taught anything about the art. Though
he grew famous in quite another field, it was
to his days of artist life that he always went
back in memory with the most affection.
And during his later years he again took up
the brush and found pleasure and recreation
in the work of his young manhood.
He was more than 40 when he became in
terested in telescopes. Assisted by his two
sons he afterward produced the most accu-
rate and the two largest instruments in the
world. His eldest son, George b. Clark,
while in college at Andover read Il treatise
On Casting and Grinding the Speculum."
Inspired by that he conceived the idea of
making telescope. He consulted his father,
who at once became deeply interested III it.
They worked together at the experiment, and
from this small beginning came the great
work which brought them fame and wealth.
Both sons were later included in the business,
and the firm was known as Clark & Sons.
